Answer 2

"You pretended envoy extraordinary and an agent to and from Jupiter Tonans,"

"In thunder as in sunshine, I stand at ease"

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sentences shown above are those that would represent an objective summary of the text presented. This is because an objective summary must be done succinctly, with clear language and, as the name says, objective; that effectively represents the original text by displaying the main idea that the original text presents. This summary should be short, as additional information has been deleted.
